DISH RAG TAG - PACKAGE HAS COME AND GONE!



PACKAGE ARRIVES 2:30.  


THEN I LOGGED IN AND ACKNOWLEDGED RECEIVING THE PACKAGE
UNPACKED THE BOX - JANICE MADE ME A BEAUTIFUL DISH RAG.  IT REMINDS ME OF SHERBERT!  SHE ALSO SENT ME SOME TEA BAGS AND SENT MY KITTY SOME NEW TOYS!  THERE IS ALSO A CUTE CD OF ANIMAL STORIES BY JAMES HERRIOT'S TO SHARE WITH MY GRANDKIDS!  ONLY HAD A MINUTE TO CHECK IT OUT BECAUSE I NEEDED TO GET KNITTING!


I QUICKLY MADE A COPY OF THE PATTERN AND DIRECTIONS THEN PUT THE ORIGINALS BACK IN THE BOX.  I PUT IN THE GOODIES I HAD COLLECTED AND A NEW SKEIN OF YARN.  THEN I SAT DOWN TO KNIT AT 2:40.  BOY!   DID MY AFTERNOON FLY!  
I FINISHED AT 5:30.  DECIDED TO CHANGE THE YARN I WAS SENDING TO THE NEXT KNITTER.  THE ONE I PUT IN THE BOX WAS FANTASY NATURALE AND NEEDS TO BE ROLLED OR WOUND AND I KNEW THE CHERYL DIDN'T NEED THAT HEADACHE!  I NEVER THOUGHT TO WIND IT AHEAD OF TIME.  SO, I SWITCHED THE YARN THEN LOGGED IN TAGGED CHERYL AND TRIED TO PRINT A LABEL.  UGH!  4 TRIES AND NO LABEL.  SO I HAND PRINTED ONE AND TAPED IT TO THE BOX WHILE MY DAUGHTER GOT THE CAR.
WE HAD TO DRIVE CROSS TOWN - NOT AN EASY THING TO DO AT THAT TIME OF DAY!  WE HAD 20 MINUTES TO GET THERE.  WE PASSED 2 POLICE CARS SITTING LOOKING FOR SPEEDERS/DUI FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.  
GOT TO THE POST OFFICE JUST IN THE KNICK OF TIME!  POSTMARKED AT 5:52.  WE HAD 8 MINUTES TO SPARE!
WHEN WE GOT BACK HOME MY BOYFRIEND SAID THE LABEL PRINTED 5 MINUTES AFTER WE LEFT!
I LOGGED IN AGAIN AND ENTERED THE TRACKING NUMBER AND DATE!
I AM FINISHED!  YOUR TURN NOW CHERYL - GOOD LUCK!

I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO GET A PICTURE OF THE BOX ALL READY TO GO - WAS TRYING TO PRINT LABEL BUT DID TAKE A QUICK PICTURE OF THE DISH RAG.  I LOVE THE COLORS IN THE YARN JANICE SENT ME!  I REALLY LIKE THE PATTERN WE RECEIVED -  WILL PROBABLY DO IT AGAIN BUT A LOT SLOWER!



GO DISH RAG DIVAS!
